24. Which of the following is spelled correctly?
Answer: B
Embarrassing is spelled correctly.
The correct spelling of the word is "Embarrassing," which contains a double "r" and a double "s." This option accurately reflects the standard English spelling.
A) Embarassing
This option is incorrect as it contains a single "r," which does not match the accepted spelling of the word. The correct form requires a double "r" to properly convey the pronunciation and meaning.
B) Embarrassing
This option is correct because it spells the word with both a double "r" and a double "s," adhering to the standard conventions of English spelling.
C) Embarassing
Similar to option A, this choice is incorrect due to the omission of the second "r." This misspelling alters the correct pronunciation and is not recognized in standard dictionaries.
D) Embarrassing
While this option appears to be the same as option B, it is included separately. It is also correct as it follows the proper spelling conventions with double letters. However, it does not change the fact that option B is the explicitly correct answer as per the question's criteria.
Conclusion
"Embarrassing" is definitively the correct spelling due to its adherence to the conventional rules of English orthography. The other options either fail to include the necessary double letters or repeat the same correct spelling differently, underscoring the importance of precision in spelling.
